You seem to sort of imply this in your post. What is their core marketing messages? What specifically are they offering to BI users over the tools that exist now? What are some really compelling and interesting specific use cases? I mean use cases beyond "it can be used in such-and-so field". At the moment, we get lots of bits of information thrown out there: 100,000 per second of this or unlimited dimensions of that. Sometimes it does seem to boil down to "you should want it because it gives you information now as opposed to later". But if it needs to be queried, then that's getting information on demand. If it's on demand... how is that more up-to-date then another solution? So I can see why you are wondering exactly what is the deal with these products - it will be enlightening if you continue to dig into this topic.
